Ripple Effect of Lifestyle Intervention During Pregnancy on Partners' Weight

Completed

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

The primary aim of the proposed study is to determine whether lifestyle interventions to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in overweight/obese pregnant women have positive "ripple" effects on untreated partners in the home. We hypothesize that partners of pregnant women randomized to the lifestyle intervention, relative to those of standard care, will have greater weight losses through 12-months. Secondary aims examine partner improvements in weight control behaviors, the home environment, and psychosocial parameters.
